Redemption bus class risk of downgrade

Hi all. Advice please.
I have an award booking in business class, Syd to Sin. Booked last year.
I must travel bus class, due to recent knee surgery and other mobility issues.
I am fit to fly, and have doc certificate saying so, as long as I can raise leg and have freedom of movement. If I was booked in economy, I could not fly.
My flight is 2 seats short of full, and the following flight is full (in J). I am paranoid about a downgrade, if VIPs/PPS etc want to get on late.
Should I submit my doc letter now to protect against such an event?
Should I just have it on hand in case of such an event?
Or am I just overthinking it?
Many thanks
